Narratives of Inequality - Postcolonial Literary Economics (Hardcover, 1st ed. 2017): Melissa Kennedy Narratives of Inequality - Postcolonial Literary Economics (Hardcover, 1st ed. 2017)
Melissa Kennedy
R3,660 Discovery Miles 36 600 Ships in 12 - 17 working days

This book reveals the economic motivations underpinning colonial, neocolonial and neoliberal eras of global capitalism that are represented in critiques of inequality in postcolonial fiction. Today's economic inequality, suffered disproportionately by indigenous and minority groups of postcolonial societies in both developed and developing countries, is a direct outcome of the colonial-era imposition of capitalist structures and practices. The longue duree, world-systems approach in this study reveals repeating patterns and trends in the mechanics of capitalism that create and maintain inequality. As well as this, it reveals the social and cultural beliefs and practices that justify and support inequality, yet equally which resist and condemn it. Through analysis of narrative representations of wealth accumulation and ownership, structures of internal inequality between the rich and the poor within cultural communities, and the psychology of capitalism that engenders particular emotions and behaviour, this study brings postcolonial literary economics to the neoliberal debate, arguing for the important contribution of the imaginary to the pressing issue of economic inequality and its solutions.

The Greatest of These (Hardcover): Melissa Kennedy The Greatest of These (Hardcover)
Melissa Kennedy
R706 Discovery Miles 7 060 Ships in 12 - 17 working days

"The Greatest of These" is a deeper look into the characteristics of love, as described in the Bible in 1 Corinthians 13. This simple chapter is a treasure chest of ideas that describe the kind of actions and traits that someone who truly loves should have. It's a good measuring stick that teaches us about who we're supposed to be and how God is.

"Read this and many more stories about the power of love."

Steve was attending college, and had been kicked out of a class, so he went into Brother Christianson's class. One day, he pulled Steve aside and said, "You think you're tough, don't you?"

Steve answered, "Yeah."

Brother Christianson asked, "How many pushups can you do?"

Steve replied, "Two hundred."

"Can you do three hundred in sets of ten?" Brother Christianson asked.

Steve said, "Sure."

Brother Christianson said, "Good I need you to do this Friday."

When class started, Brother Christianson had a box of donuts and asked the first girl, "Cynthia, do you want a donut?"

Cynthia said, "Yes."

Brother Christianson asked, "Steve, would you do ten pushups so Cynthia can have a donut?"

Steve said, "Sure," and did a quick ten. He put a donut on Cynthia's desk. So it went, Steve did ten pushups for every person before they got their donut, until he came to Scott, football captain ...

Diasporic Subjectivity and Cultural Brokering in Contemporary Post-Colonial Literatures (Hardcover): Igor Maver Diasporic Subjectivity and Cultural Brokering in Contemporary Post-Colonial Literatures (Hardcover)

R2,478 Discovery Miles 24 780 Ships in 12 - 17 working days

Diasporic writing simultaneously asserts a sense of belonging and expresses a sense of being 'ethnic' in a society of immigration. The essays in this volume explore how contemporary diasporic writers in English use their works to mediate this dissonance and seek to work through the ethical, political, and personal affiliations of diasporic identities and subjectivities. The essays call for a remapping of post-colonial literatures and a reevaluation of the Anglophone literary canon by including post-colonial diasporic literary discourses. Demonstrating that an intercultural dialogue and constant cultural brokering are a must in our post-colonial world, this volume is a valuable contribution to the ongoing discourse on post-colonial diasporic literatures and identities.

Conflict and Change in Australia's Peri-Urban Landscapes (Hardcover, New Ed): Melissa Kennedy, Andrew Butt, Marco Amati Conflict and Change in Australia's Peri-Urban Landscapes (Hardcover, New Ed)
Melissa Kennedy, Andrew Butt, Marco Amati
R4,282 Discovery Miles 42 820 Ships in 12 - 17 working days

In an era of rapid urbanization, peri-urban areas are emerging as the fastest-growing regions in many countries. Generally considered as the space extending one hundred kilometres from the city fringe, peri-urban areas are contested and subject to a wide range of uses such as residential development, productive farming, water catchments, forestry, mineral and stone extraction and tourism and recreation. Whilst the peri-urban space is valued for offering a unique ambiance and lifestyle, it is often highly vulnerable to bushfire and loss of biodiversity and vegetation along with threats to farming and food security in highly productive areas. Drawing together leading researchers and practitioners, this volume provides an interdisciplinary contribution to our knowledge and understanding of how peri-urban areas are being shaped in Australia through a focus on four overarching themes: Peri-urban Conceptualizations; Governance and Planning; Land Use and Food Production; and Solutions and Representations. Whilst the case studies focus on Australia, they advance a variety of tools useful in discerning processes and impacts of peri-urban change globally. Furthermore, the findings are instructive of the issues and tensions commonly encountered in rapidly urbanizing peri-urban areas throughout the world, from landscape valuation and biosecurity concerns to functional adaptation and social change.

A Land in Between - The Orontes Valley in the Early Urban Age (Paperback): Melissa Kennedy A Land in Between - The Orontes Valley in the Early Urban Age (Paperback)
Melissa Kennedy
R1,237 R987 Discovery Miles 9 870 Save R250 (20%) Ships in 10 - 15 working days

The Orontes Valley in western Syria is a land 'in between', positioned between the small trading centres of the coast and the huge urban agglomerations of the Euphrates Valley and the Syro-Mesopotamian plains beyond. As such, it provides a critical missing link in our understanding of the archaeology of this region in the early urban age.A Land in Between documents the material culture and socio-political relationships of the Orontes Valley and its neighbours from the fourth through to the second millennium BCE. The authors demonstrate that the valley was an important conduit for the exchange of knowledge and goods that fuelled the first urban age in western Syria. This lays the foundation for a comparative perspective, providing a clearer understanding of key differences between the Orontes region and its neighbours, and insights into how patterns of material and political association changed over time.
